I was sitting next to an elderly ecclesiastical gentleman on a plane recently who was doing a crossword, after a long pause in his labour he turned to me and said, "Can you think of a four letter word ending in u-n-t", "aunt" I suggested, he said "Ah yes,... do you happen to have rubber?"
//"Has anybody got a rubber?"
Not a question you should ask in America.//
Definitely not, many years ago OH was almost lynched in the Deep South when he was paying for petrol in a real back roads service station and our daughter walked in. calling from the door, Daddy, see if they sell rubbers, you wore mine out last night.
He'd spent a couple of hours doing some pencil drawings!
